Compiler fails build kernel (old news).

[Alex Arthur <aca@panix.com>]

I realize this has been discussed before, but I wasn't dealing with ELF at that point,
so I didn't follow the thread.  Is there a resolution for this problem?

I am trying to get up-to-speed with ELF. I am using ELF gcc 2.7.2-5 & binutils 2.6-2.

gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux-1.2.13/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 
    -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -m486  -c -o init/main.o init/main.c
/usr/src/linux-1.2.13/include/asm/io.h: In function `copro_timeout':
